Penn medicine launches Triple-Threat attack on deadly mesothelioma
NCT ID NCT03760575
Summary
This early-stage study is testing whether adding an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) and special imaging-guided surgery to standard chemotherapy and surgery is safe and effective for treating malignant pleural mesothelioma. The trial will enroll 20 adults with this aggressive cancer to see if this combination approach can better control the disease and improve survival. Researchers will closely monitor side effects and how long patients live without their cancer getting worse.
